The Dorada is one of only four hotels in the resort and is adjoined to one of the others, the Imperial, as they are actually sister hotels. You will have access to all facilities of both hotels.
I haven't stayed in the hotel as I have a timeshare in the resort, but I have to say I've never heard anyone complain about it in the 23 years I've been going there.
The resort is small and safe with an excellent beach which is safe for swimming as you can go out 50 yards and the water will only be above waist height.
Don't be afraid to go out of the hotel and sample the local bars as there is something for everyone, from typical English bars, (La Cantina & Up 'n' Inn), to bars which don't get busy until midnight and close around 5:00 / 6:00am, (Blues Cafe / Raffles)
Post any questions you may have about the resort or even the island in general and I'll try to answer you whereI can.
